FASTENER FOR GLOVES.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 524,838, dated August21, 1894.

Application filed December 21, 189i- Serial No. 415,796. (No model.) i

To all whom it may concern.-

Beit known that I, FREEBORN F. RAYMOND, 2d, a citizen of the UnitedStates, residing at Newton, in the county of Middlesex and State ofMassachusetts, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Fastenersfor Gloves and other Articles, 'of which the following is a full, clear,and exact description, reference being had to the accompanying drawings,forming a part of this specification, in explaining its nature. a

The invention comprises a fastener for gloves and other articles havingtwo members, namely,.a socket member and a ball member, and it relatesto the specific form of construction of the socket member hereinafterdescribed.

Referring to the drawingsFigure 1 is a view in vertical section, andFig. 2 a view in inverted plan of a section of the'socket member of thefastening. Fig. 8 is a view in section, and Fig. 4 in inverted plan ofthe cap section of the socket member of the fastening. Fig. 5 representsthe two sections of the socket member secured to the material and withthe ball member in place therein. Figs. 6 and 7 show views of aresilient ball member. Fig. 8 shows the resilient ball member as engagedby the socket member. Figs. 9, 10 and 11 are views representing slightmodifications in the form of the cap section of the socket member. Figs.12 and 13 show the socket member without a cap. Figs. 14L

and 15 show slight modifications to which reference is hereinafter made.i

A represents the cap, its edge a is turned in preferably upon a colletor base plate a but not necessarily so. In the cap is a cone turningpiece B, it has the inclined suface b and preferably the curved ordownward turned flange or section Z). (See Figs, 5 and 10.) The curvedor downward extending section acts as a support to sustain the cap fromcollapsing during the fastening of the cap and other section of thesocket member together. The cap is held in place by a fastening andsocket section 0, this comprises a tubular fastening chaving a flange cextending from its lower edge, and the barrel 0 To the lower flangec'there is attached by means of the bent or drawn in flange d the plateD, this plate covers the under surface of the flange and has the centralhole (1', and

the edge 01 about'the hole extends within the inner surface of thebarrel c of the fastener and it completes with the bore of the barrel asocket and furnishesan opening to it. The plate about the opening may beunyielding,

in which case it is adapted to receive the ex pansible ball Erepresented in Fig. 8 or it is made yielding or resilient by means ofthe slits d in which case it receives the non-ex pansible ball E. (SeeFig. 5.)

The plate D is secured to the flange c of the tubular fastening beforethe fastening is united with the cap section of the socket memher andthe parts thus formed are assembled in relation to the material asrepresented in Fig. 5that is, with the cap A above the hole formedtherein, while the other section 0 of the socket member is disposed uponthe other side of the material, the barrel 0 extending into the hole inthe material. Upon the application of pressure to the two sections theupper edge of the tubular fastening is caused to come into contact withthe conical surface b and to be turned thereby into the pocket 1) andthereby lock and fasten. the cap to the material and the two sections ofthe socket member securely. in place and to each other.

In lieu of making the fastening c and plate D in two pieces they may bemade in onepiece as represented in Figs. 14 and 15 the plate D beingintegral with the flange c, the plate extending inward from the outeredge of the flange to bring its edge inside the inner surface of thetubular portion of the fastener; this provides the fastening with aflange for holding it in place and with an entrance to the socket.

In lieu of lapping the edge of the cap upon a separate collet or backplate it may be lapped upon the end of the downward extending section.b' ofthe turning piece B (see Fig. 9). I would say that in someinstances the cap may be dispensed with, in which case the turning pieceis formed substantially as represented in Fig. 12.

Fig. 13 represents the socket member as without a cap or without aturning piece B,

the upper edge of the tubular fastening being turned outward upon awasher.

It will be understood that in lieu of providing the socket plate D withslits d it may have one slit extending from the inner opening entirelyacross it.

Having thus fully described my invention, I claim and desire to secureby Letters Patent of the United States' 1. The combination in a fastenerfor gloves and other articles of the flanged eyelet or hollow fasteningC, the. socket plate D, on the flange of said eyelet, the socketbeing atthe flanged end and comprising a concentric socket opening thereinslightly smaller than the ball member, and a holder substantially asspecified for receiving, turning and holding the unflanged end of saideyelet, substantially as described.

2. The combination in the socket member of a fastener for gloves andother articles of g the cap A, the anvil or turning piece B, having aconical turningsurface, and a downward extending integral cap supportingsleeve or ring I), with the socket piece comprising the flanged tube 0and the plate D, substantially as'described. a
